Social gatherings: have fun, visit with people, eat good food… Tonight is the big Christmas party. I think I can manage to avoid shaking hands with people, but I still haven’t figured out how to take a handful of pills inconspicuously.

Taking them before we leave home would be too early.

Taking them after we return home would be too late.

Hiding in the bathroom has been suggested. No. Ick. I’m not taking a drink into the bathroom.

Most of them have to be taken with food, lest they chew a hole in my stomach, and that means sometime during hors d’oeuvres or supper. If I end up with an ulcer, I’d be forever disqualified from NSAIDs – they make a difference, so I want the option of taking them – thus I’m careful about taking these things with food.

I’m not self-centered enough to think that everyone will be watching me, but my husband and I will be fairly visible and there are times that isn’t so nice.

Suggestions on ways to remain invisible while taking pills in public would be greatly appreciated.
